Cottage Wreaths Grateful Card on Painted Texture

Greetings!

Here I am, back after a week of having my craft/stamping/office room completely cleared out for a new color scheme, a new layout, a new AWESOME desk (which came 5 days early!), and some new lighting.  I have to say, it was worth the effort.  I am beyond thrilled with how it turned out and as I am a DIYer, am proud to say I did it all myself.  I love seeing a room transformed.  

It seems only fitting that my first card to post since the room transformation is combining some products that have been around for awhile along with some that are from the new Sept-Dec 2023 mini catalog, and putting it all together with a simple "grateful".  

The Cottage Wreaths stamp set and coordinating Country Wreaths dies were one of the first sets I purchased last year when it became available.  The wreath in this stamp set is a two-step wreath, so you can have the twigs one color and the leaves another.  Because it's also a distINKtive™ stamp set there is a beautiful variation of color to the leaf ring stamp. 


The other thing I love about this wreath is that it is die cut out around the shape of the wreath instead of simply a uniform circle.   There are beautiful bows to stamp and die cut, however, I opted to go with a simple bow from the Copper Clay Jute Trim.  

The strip of paper is from the All About Autumn Designer Series Papers, and the finishing touch are the cute little Copper Clay adhesive-backed Solid Gems.  This gem pack has three colors and they are so diverse that they really will work for occasions through the entire year.  They are also my FREE gift this month with your order of $65 or more (before tax & shipping).  Details are below, as well as a picture of the Solid Gems so you can see the lovely colors they come in.
